This is very common these days. I am flying around half a million status miles on Lufthansa and many airlines pitch for me. KLM is sending me every year their highest status card without me even asking for it (and rarely using it) and BA sends me every year a new silver card (last year I only made 220 points). I was only astonished a few weeks ago when a sales lady from BA came to my office and had a Gold Card as a present for me if I would sign a cvorporate agreement. Somehow I find this attitude very cheap. Not that I am complaining about the gift (which I did not accept, but my account now shows Gold anyhow - funny going with a silver card and a Gold number), but do they really think I will put a corporate contract, which is far more expensive then the LH one, into place just to get a piece of plastic that I could easily qualify for in two months if I wanted? Cheap BA.
